L'orangerie At L'hermitage Vancouver

I spent my birthday having afternoon tea here and was greeted with a special card. Excellent service from the staff at the dining lounge. The ambience was great! Loved the experience.

We went there before a performance in the vancouver opera. the afternoon high tea was excellent. attentive and polished service.

I visited for Afternoon Tea with five girlfriends. A few of us are from the UK, so have eaten at high quality Afternoon Teas in other hotels, not that we expected it to be the same: We are definitely not snobs! The good: nice decor, lovely fireplace (although unfortunately we weren't seated near it! , and what I would imagine would be a lovely outdoor deck in the summer efficient service (we were almost the only people there excellent choice of teas decent quantity of food The okay: all of the food was quite blah and didn't any memorable flavour. It was just okay. Specifically: some of the sandwiches were dry on one side, where they had presumably been left out. But still, they tasted fine. The egg salad was the best. the scones were... well they just seemed very similar to the ones you get in a coffee shop; nothing special usually, Devonshire Cream (or any cream for that matter , in a traditional Afternoon Tea is clotted. The cream we had was whipped. the pastries did not appear to be made in house. It was a mixture of average sized pastry that was cut up into small pieces, mini eclairs and mini macaroons the only item that was memorably good was for the chocolate and mint macaroon We were pretty hungry but still left about half the pastries and a few sandwiches. The tea selection was excellent, the coffee was fine, the service was very efficient and friendly. The ambiance was lacking as was almost empty, however the surroundings were lovely, so on a busier day or maybe at a different time of day it could be really nice. Probably be a great summer brunch/lunch spot ! .

What a find in the heart of Downtown Vancouver! It's a cozy place. We had afternoon tea, which I highly recommend. We weren't rushed, the service was great. Good experience overall. When you enter the hotel though, the dining is on the 5th floor and one of the staff needs to scan their keycard in the elevator to go up. It's also recommended to use their valet parking service.

I really don't have the feeling that we're having high tea. Scones on the top tier is in big size, hard and crispy. It suppose to be soft and warm. Mid-tier sandwich, nothing special. Dessert at the bottom is ... You can always pick better scones and sandwich from other bakery. It's not home made, most of them are from outside. Not worth for paying $45.00 each person and the picture (upload photo) cost $125.00.
